We offer:

Graphic Design

Illustration/Custom artwork

Our hourly rate is billed in fifteen (15) minute increments. This guideline will cover the majority of graphic work requests:

Full Conceptual Design
For results-oriented design, our professionals can design your project from concept to completion. In order to design your project, we'd like you to complete a quick questionnaire to help us write copy and choose photos from our vast library of stock photography. You may also know exactly what you want but you do not have any photos/graphics of your own and you are not exactly sure how to express what you would like to communicate. This initial design charge covers any and all revisions no matter how extensive before your project goes to print.

Assisted Design
You know exactly what you want. You can supply all logos, graphics/photos, copy, and headlines. If you make several changes after seeing the proof or change your mind, you may incur additional charges.

Print-From-Disc
Maybe you have your own graphic designer or maybe you are your own designer - D3Corp will accept your art - just email us your files or bring them in. Ask for our Art Submission Checklist for file requirements. Since you will not be using our design services, there are not any additional charges, just the cost of printing. Price is dependent on how many photos, number of scans, complexity of design, etc. In addition, our design services are a one-time fee. So if you reorder the exact same print job in the future, there will not be a design charge. If changes to the design are necessary at the time of the reorder, then design fees will apply, unless otherwise specified.

Logo Design

A logo is a graphic representation of your company's identity. Since it is the first thing people see, it should attract attention and leave a lasting impression. We understand the importance of your logo as a sales tool. A great logo is professional, cutting edge and, above all, unique. It is an exciting, creative process to develop a visual symbol that will eventually represent our client's business.

Client Brief
The creation of an effective logo, corporate images, emblems and brand identity trademarks requires a skilled and imaginative designer with a proven system. It is critical for our designers to understand the nature of your business, and the image of your company, brand and products or service.

To create the perfect logo for your company, it is very important that we have the following:

As much detail about the business as possible: industry, target market

Keywords that represent the image of the business

Desired/not desired colors

Desired/not desired fonts

Any preconceived ideas that you have about your logo

Other logos that the client really likes

Any drawings/sketches/rough ideas

Photos of current work environment and or products

Initial Development
Based on the Client Brief, we design a few initial designs. Then, submit to you for your feedback. If you like a few of the designs, we will make the required changes based on your specifications. In the event that you do not like any of the initial drafts, we will create a few more initial designs; after returning to 'Step One.' We keep on working on your logo until you are satisfied.

Choose Your Final Logo
The revised logos are presented to you to choose a final logo. Afterwards, we perfect the one design that you like and make any adjustments to it that you prefer. Unlimited alterations to your logo while in the development stage.

Revision
Some projects go very quickly, and some may take quite a few revisions. At this point we don't change the logo version or overall format; just minor alterations.

Your Logo Is Ready
We supply you with a high-resolution copy of your logo; saved in formats for both accurate printing and web publishing. We transfer all rights to the final logo design to you in writing.

*Shipping for print jobs is an additional cost (except for business cards). All jobs are shipped to D3Corp by UPS ground. Full color print jobs usually arrive ten (10) business days from the Approved proof. One and two color jobs usually arrive within five (5-7) business days. Please ask a sales rep if you need an estimate on arrival.

What are Pantone colors?
Pantone color refers to the standard spot color system which is a set of premixed ink that is used in printing. Spot color is also used to match specific colors very closely.

What is CMYK color?
Process color is a method used to create thousands of colors using four or more standard inks. The colors used in four-color process are C=Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow and K=Black.

What is a PDF file?
Documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) preserve the exact look and content of the originals, complete with fonts and graphics and can be printed, distributed by email and shared and stored on network systems, including the internet, for others to use and view.

How well will my job match what I see on my monitor?
Most people are surprised at how well their job matches what they see. But because of wide differences in monitor calibration, some printed colors may not match exactly what is seen on the proof and what is printed. Please note that the screen color will not match the printed material perfectly. Color shifts will be within industry standards. Color changes are inevitable due to the fact that monitors produce color by mixing "light" and not ink.

Will it cost the same if I reorder my job?
Our design services are a one-time fee. If you reorder the exact same print job in the future without any changes made to it, there will not be a design charge. You will only pay the cost of printing and shipping.

How long does it take to get a proof of my job?
Quoted turn-around time starts only after all materials necessary to complete your order have been received. The initial proof varies per project and revisions of the proof may take up to 4 days.

How long will it take to receive my order?
Full color print jobs usually arrive ten (10) business days from the signed proof. One and two color jobs usually arrive within five to seven (5-7) business days. We make every effort to print your order as quickly as possible. Production times are estimates and do not secure or guarantee a deadline unless otherwise specified.

Will I always receive the exact quantity I ordered?
Basically, yes, although "gang run" printing does have over-runs and under-runs. These will not exceed the five (5) percent specified in the contract.

What if I want to change something on my order after I have approved the proof?
Once your proof is approved, it has been sent to the printer. There is very little we can do about it at this point. This is why we cannot stress enough the importance of the proofing process is on your part and urge you to do so carefully and thoroughly before approving your proof.

How do I view my proof?
We make every effort to send the proof in an easily accessible format. As such, we utilize an Online Software proofing program. This program allows you to note changes directly on the artwork, download the proof, approve and more. A detailed FAQ on the Proofing software can be found here. Additionally, should you encounter any troubles reviewing the proof, please call right away; we will find another means to provide you with the proof such as in-person, mail or fax.

What file formats do you prefer?
We work in Adobe InDesign and are able to accept almost any file type. Its conversion to a print-ready design may not be the same, depending upon the amount of conversion and/or recreation work needed.

What type of Mailing Lists Do You Accept?
We accept any version of Excel (.xls) and CSV (.csv). Mail pricing includes the use of 5 columns. Additional lines may be added at an extra cost. Four digit zip code extensions are strongly recommended. Samples of acceptable formatting are below.

How do I ensure that I will stay within my budget?
Before starting any project we put in writing exactly what will be done to complete the project. Once you are satisfied and approve this service agreement we will start working on your project. If additional requirements are needed for the project, then a new service agreement will be created outlining the additional services required. We make every effort to ensure that the initial quote we give you covers all the services you require.

Cancellation Policy:
Cancellations are accepted up until the final proof is approved. However, if the order entailed any graphic design work, the client will be held responsible based on an hourly rate or the initial graphic design quote.
If the order is cancelled after proof approval and the files have been sent to the printer, the client will be liable for the full quoted amount.

Accuracy
You are 100% responsible for the accuracy of your printed product. Please proofread all proofs carefully. D3Corp reserves the right to refuse to print any material that D3Corp determines, in its sole discretion, is immoral, illegal or inappropriate for any reason. If your material is deemed unacceptable, you will be notified promptly and permitted to change the content or layout to fit our requirements.

Color
D3Corp will reproduce color from submitted transparencies, slides, photos or digital layouts as closely and accurately as possible. All colors contained within any RGB digital file will be converted to D3Corp's CMYK color space. You should note that your computer monitor's calibration affects the colors displayed on your monitor's screen. The colors on the printed product may differ from what you see displayed when viewing a proof sent via email. This proof only presents the design layout, text accuracy, image proportion and placement, but not the color or density.

Payment
All jobs require payment in full when the final proof is approved. Logo design requires an initial deposit of 50% ($150.00) to start.

Standard Turn-around Times
Quoted turnaround times start only after all materials necessary to complete your job have been received.

If no such claim is made, D3Corp and the client will understand that the job has been accepted. By accepting the job, the client acknowledges that D3Corp's performance has fully satisfied all terms, conditions and specifications. It is customary in the industry that D3Corp's liability will be limited to the quoted selling price of defective goods, without additional charge for special or consequential damage or as specified. As security for payment of any sum due under the terms of an agreement, D3Corp has the right to hold and place a lien on all client property in D3Corp's possession.
